Regulatory agencies have established guidelines for thujone levels in consumable products. The FDA in the United States allows thujone in foods and beverages only at very low levels. The European Union has set maximum limits for thujone content in alcoholic beverages: 35 mg/kg in bitters, 10 mg/kg in other alcoholic drinks, and 0.5 mg/kg in foodstuffs. These regulations are intended to minimize the risk of adverse effects.
